Why need to clone HHD to SanDisk SSD?
Firstly, we should understand that Hard Disk Drives and Solid State Drives are of
different mechanical structures, for example, an HDD reads and writes data on its
rotating platter with a mechanical arm moving around, while an SSD works with a
chip.
Secondly, from the different mechanical structures between HDDs and SSDs, we know
that SSDs can read and write faster than HDDs due to its non-mechanical design, in
addition SSDs may make no noise while working since it’s without spinning like HDDs.
Still, SSDs are more durable, more reliable and lighter, etc.
Here, SanDisk SSD is well-known and popular among customers, and upgrading your old
hard drive to a SanDisk SSD is a good idea. To do so, you need a SanDisk SSD clone
software to clone all contents of your HDD to the SanDisk SSD in order to avoid the
annoyance of re-installing operating system and applications, even the pain of
losing any data.
